Screw on the power lead from the power supply module into the power connection on the router.  Plug the 
power supply into your power source. 

Screw-on the DC power cable to the power connector on the router. 

Then attach the two wires at the other end of the DC power cable to a DC fuse/terminal block in which you 
are mounting the router. 

Connect the red wire to the "+" (positive) terminal and the black wire to the "–" (negative) terminal. Be sure 
the GND connection is correct.  

  Over-voltage protection is provided on the device. To ensure complete protection, you may want to 

add additional filtering to the DC input. 

Notes: 

● 

For an application involving a battery: you can use permanent “+” or   key-switched “+” source.  Connect the 
power supply to its source (for example, in a mobile situation, to the DC fuse/terminal block). 

● 

The POWER LED. The POWER LED lights after power-up. 

● 

The Status LED is a solid ON when the router is booting up, saving a configuration, or updating firmware. 
When the Status LED begins to blink, the router is ready. 

Press and hold in the 

 button until the Status Light goes out. Then release the button. This sets the username 

and password back to admin and admin, as well as sets the IP address to the default of 192.168.2.1. 

Before you turn off power to the router, and before you reset the hardware, it is recommended you complete the following 
sequence. 

The shutdown sequence informs the network that the mobile station is going offline, and saves critical data to the module‘s 
non-volatile memory (flash). 

Issue the following command: 

AT+CFUN=0  (issue this command) 

Wait for this response from the modem 

+WIND:10      ()   

You can now power off the router or reset it. 

If you do not see the +WIND:10 response, you may need to activate the unsolicited message by using the 
command AT+WUSLMSK=00020000,0
